The official “Making of Harry Potter” studio tours will be opening its doors for the first time on March 31, 2012 at the original studio site in Leavesden, 20-miles northwest of London.  Warner Bros. will be recreating the magic for Potter fans on the 150,000-square-foot site, which will showcase the authentic sets, props and costumes.  While fans are excited about the studio tours, so are the Harry Potter stars.  Tickets on the London attraction will go on sale from October 13.  Since tickets will not be available on the attraction itself, visitors must pre-book their tickets in advance from www.wbstudiotour.co.uk or through legit operators.  Tickets are priced at £28 for adults, £21 for children and £83 for a family of four.

“I get shudders down my spine every time I walk back in there,” Tom Felton, aka Draco Malfoy, said. “Immediately, as soon as you go back it just fires up a decade’s worth of memories.”  Felton said he want to return one day to shoot a new film there “And if the work dries up we can always come back and be tour guides.”

“I hope people will come on the sets and feel the warmth on the sets, and the experiences that have been here,” Bonnie Wright, or Ginny Weasley, explained. “They’re really lived in, all the sets. They don’t feel just like a studio, they do feel like a world.”

“It was such a magical place to grow up,” said Harry Potter himself, Daniel Radcliffe. “People will be amazed to see the incredible sets that we’ve worked in all these years.”

Rupert Grint, who played Ron Weasley, added: “The sets all have tiny little details that you may not always notice in the films but when you actually walk through them, you can see all the work that’s gone into it. It’s really amazing.”

Emma Watson, Hermione in the film series, said, “This is incredible, it’s been a long time coming and I’m very excited.”

Those featured will be Hogwarts Great Hall, Dumbledore’s office, the Ministry of Magic, Harry Potter’s cupboard under the stairs, 4 Privet Drive, Gryffindor common room, the boys’ dormitory, the Potion’s classroom, Professor Umbridge’s office, the Weasley kitchen, the Hogwarts bridge. There are also more yet to be announced.

“The attention to detail and the care and the thought is breathtaking, and still is to us, even after eight films,” said actor Mark Williams who played Arthur Weasley, father of Harry’s best friend Ron. “You’d go on set and go, ‘Bloody hell, it works!’

“I think people will be amazed about what was created as a physical prop rather than fixed later in the computer,” added Warwick Davis, who played Hogwarts charms master Prof. Filius Flitwick and the goblin Griphook.

“It’s lovely to see the redevelopment,” Davis said. “I just wish they’d done it before we filmed them. We spent years here in the damp and cold, and now I see these beautiful studios, with roofs.”

The 19-year old Daniel Radcliffe recently takes over the live stage with a whole lot new twist to offer.  This harry potter star surely has grown into a man in all girl’s dream.  Starring in the revival of the Tony Award winning stage play Equus, Daniel let the people see all that he got.  Equus is a play by Peter Shaffer created in 1993, a story about a psychiatrist who attempts to treat a young man with pathological spiritual/sexual fascination to horses.  Miles apart from his ideal childish role in Harry Potter, many of his fan’s parents are not happy with his career moves.  They said he is not being a good example for his fans back in his harry potter role.

The naked pictures of the actor taken during the Broadway play had been leaked and Broadway officials were outrageous about it.  The picture shows Daniel Radcliffe standing completely naked face to face with co-star Ana Camp who as well gets naked for the play.  The pictures posted in the Internet frustrated the 82-year-old writer of the play and he said, “It’s very, very bad behavior. Whoever did it is a creep.”  Turning art into pornography, the person responsible for this is inconsiderate for Radcliffe is still up to doing Harry Potter films for the kids, according to Rachel Juozapaitis, which is the stage technician of the play.

In spite of the tremendous negative feedback, the play itself was a success and in fact, the play will be going live in New York by probably February 8 next year.  Daniel Radcliffe doing the role of Alan Strang (a 17-year-old suburban stable boy who commits bizarre crimes against horses) in London’s West End play, “Equus”, has been announced to repeat his role on Broadway.  During his five-month appearance in London West End, no naked pictures were reported to surface in the Internet.  The latest naked picture of Daniel was believed to have come from the first two preliminary showing of his Broadway debut.  Speculations that the “grainy and out of focus” picture were taken using a camera phone.  Publicist Sam Rudy told The New York Daily News “somebody broke a law” by uploading the snaps.

The leak of the said photo was a complete shock among the staffs of the play since security in the said event was tightly assured.  Radcliffe’s panel has yet leaved any statement about the incident.  In the lighter side, Radcliffe earned appraisal from big artists and people who have watched his performance in the London production.  His portrayal of the disturbed teenager who blinds six horses is an indication that Daniel has departed from his G-rated image and is ready for more challenging roles in the industry.  As to his side, he said, “I don’t read reviews _ ever,” he said. “Good or bad. They affect the performance, so I tend to stay clear as much as I can.”  For the quality of acting Daniel has, he deserves whatever breaks to occur.

Being one of the most successful young actors of his generation, Daniel Radcliffe has taken the movie scene to another perspective with his stellar success as the boy wizard “Harry Potter” in all of its installments. Radcliffe first made his way up to the top of the box office scene when he landed the lead role as “Harry Potter;” a book made by award-winning novelist and author J.K. Rowling. Since then, Radcliffe has embraced several accolades with his representation of the role. Also, with regards to his role in the said movie series, he made a whopping 60 million euro under his belt.

Radcliffe was born in July 23, 1989, and was bred in West London, England. He is the only son of Alan George Radcliffe and Marcia Jeannine Gresham. At the very young age of five, Radcliffe showed excitement in the world of acting. In year 1999, he made his debut on the television, starring as the lead role. It was Charles Dickens’ novel work, David Copperfield. Radcliffe was on the age of 10 when he made his first appearance on TV. In 2001, he starred in a movie called The “Tailor of Panama” together with Pierce Brosnan. This has become his stepping stone to claim the most important event of his acting life.

He was then later casted to be the boy wizard Harry Potter. Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone made it big into the box office that made Radcliffe an instant celebrity. Everyone who watched the movie became fans of the boy wonder. However, after the first installment of the movie, Radcliffe stated that he had a hard time going to school; therefore, preventing him from continuing his education. As a result, he had an on-set tutor in order to teach him while on tapings, but he elaborated that it is still hard juggling two things at one moment.

With the success of the first installment in the film series, the succeeding movies became equally successful in relation with others. All the time, a Harry Potter movie will be shown, it will be no wonder that this can really have the best success in every way possible. Through the span of almost a decade, fans and fans alike were really captured by the movie installments; alluring set of characters and storyline. The last among the installments; Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, had been stripped down to a two-part movie and the last among these installments will be shown later in year 2011. This will conclude the Harry Potter era and Radcliffe will look on other challenges in order to give justice to his acting career.

Outside the world of Harry Potter, Radcliffe has starred in several other movies and the Broadway, which turned out for him to received general positive acclaims among critics. Also, he is geared towards in serving several humanitarian acts. He had contributed to numerous charities that include the Trevor Project and Demelza House Children’s Hospice. He also appeared in several public appearances with the former. In response with his contribution into charities, he received an honor in 2011 after the Trevor Project’s Hero Awards was given to him.
